Mads Pedersen just said on Danish television that he will be at the start of the Vuelta.
Also Skjelmose doing the Vuelta for GC.
I have my doubts about how he'll perform after a hard Tour de France, but if he has the same form he showed at this Tour, it looks promising.
EXCLUSIVE INFO FROM TV2
Both Mads Pedersen and Mattias Skjelmose revealed in their post Tour interviews, that they will ride the Vuelta.
And ambitions are not small… for Pedersen stages and green jersey and for Skjelmose GC.

Tour de France summary:
1. What I want to remember:
- Mads Pedersen and his battle for the green jersey
2. What was nice to see:
- Waerenskjold’s stage victory, which nobody had expected
3. Fuck you, traffic island, you ruined that race.
The symmetry of MVDP & WVA denying Tadej Pogacar the opportunity to ‘complete cycling’ is INSANE:
2025, Mathieu van der Poel stops Pogacar winning Roubaix, Wout stops him winning in Paris.
2026, Wout van Aert stops Pogacar winning Roubaix, MVDP stops him winning in Paris 🤯
🇫🇷 #TDF2026
Riding your very first Tour de France just weeks after being part of the winning team at the Giro d’Italia, where you guided Jonas through the high mountains. All that in your first season as a Bee. 🐝
😁 Called up just two weeks before the Grand Départ to replace Wout, you embraced the opportunity with both hands. Always willing to do the hard work when the team needed you most, always with a 𝐬𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞 on your face. And in between, you finished an impressive 14th in the GC.
A first Tour to be proud of. This is only the beginning, 𝐃𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞. 🇮🇹
“It’s something that most of us will never forget because it’s not often that you can go to the final podium in Paris”
